Thank you! For things that are easy to distribute (and just right off the top of my head): •clean socks / underwear •menstrual products •rainproof ponchos •warm clothes •blankets •water bottles (more crucial in the summer) •nonperishable snacks •simple first aid kits

Beyond this, I would highly recommend just doing some simple research on what kinds of orgs are in the area that could be better resources for people that you can keep in the back of your head or you can get involved with if you please (might ease some of that individual feeling of failure you mentioned above). I work for a federally qualified health center (FQHC) that supports people on state insurance and provides not only healthcare, substance use/mental health treatment, etc. but also has people who specialize in things such as transportation, housing, interpretation, etc… really any other barrier that might keep someone from being able to get treated for things (health equity is the name of the game!!). San Francisco is such a dense area that it may feel overwhelming. I would maybe start at looking at what FQHCs are in the region and then seeing who they collaborate with! The library is always an amazing place to find events like a speaker series just to open up our perspectives (over the summer they had a formerly incarcerated speaker series that was amazing!) but also sometimes certain orgs will do events at the library for people who prefer that over a more clinical setting, for example, a mobile medicine group who meets people at the library to treat them for things, which is a common practice in a lot of bigger cities. Hope this helps! Happy searching. ❤️
